"Yes," said Mr. George; "Rollo and I were going to stay till this afternoon. There is a boat to cross at four o'clock." It was about eleven o'clock in the morning when this conversation occurred.
Rollo said that he would go out and take a little walk around the station, for it was yet half an hour before the train was to go. In a few minutes after Rollo had gone, there came to the door, among other carriages, one from which Mr. George, to his great surprise, saw Mr. and Mrs. Parkman get out.
